USLHT/USCGC Mangrove (1897-1947, later WAGL-232)

USLHT Mangrove, a 821-ton light house tender, was built
at Elizabethport, New Jersey, in 1897. She served the Light
House Service and Coast Guard as a navigation aids tender for
nearly fifty years. In the Spanish-American War, and during both
World Wars, Mangrove served with the U.S. Navy. She was
classified WAGL-232 during the Second World War. Soon after the
end of that conflict, she was decommissioned and was sold for
scrapping in March 1947.
